Pregnant at 42

Im 8wks4 days pregnant and worried sick because i have been spotting since aug 16, went to my OB and did an ultrasound and thank God the baby was ok with 126 fetal heart rate. My OB prescribed me with progesterone i took it since yesterday but the spotting is still there.. Is it normal? Thanks in advance for your advice..

My mother too had kids around that age me at 35 and my younger brother at 40 or 41 and shes told me about how she had spotting which made her doubt herself wheter or not shed be pregnant. I dont know if it was during her whole pregnancy I just know she did. I was born healthy as can be and so was my younger brother. I was of natural birth and I know her blood pressure was high for my brother so she had a c-section but the point is yes she would spott and everything turned fine so don't get too worried you got this. Its funny cause she thought it be her menopause that was making her spott and she turned out to be pregnant once she went to get checked up haha
